ariestaurus21:aeroknot: aeroknot: there are many young merfolk out there, so i felt the desire to create a badass elder for mermay :) she’s as much derived from as she is dedicated to the vuvalini of MMFR– i also sincerely hope she brings joy to my mutuals older than me who always delight and inspire me, and to all older women in fandom, really, who i continuously thought of while working on her i hope it’s obvious but just in case: she’s beluga / inuit. and yes, a name and backstory eventually developed! haha oh y’all this is my first non-fanart piece to break 1k notes and i’m SO excited it’s enthusiasm for this design in particular! thank you; i’m so relieved and encouraged by the warm responses i ADORE this merfolk lady. Because she has a beluga tail, she is of my people. I come from the frigid waters of the Saguenay river, where the Belugas live. I am of her tribe. She is my Elder. My great grandmother many times removed. -- source link
